What it does

Update Knowledge Base is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Cross-reference recently shipped tickets against your help center and changelog to detect outdated articles, missing documentation, and undocumented features. Suggests updates and writes draft copy where possible. Use after each release or on a weekly cadence.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Help center and FAQ content, Knowledge bases and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Help center and FAQ content
  • Tasks that involve Knowledge bases
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/update-knowledge-base”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51838c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Update Knowledge Base loads about 746 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~746

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 140 words (~746 tokens).

“Automatically detect what your docs are missing — and draft the updates.”
